Elemental Hero Deck Fix for "Shadowdragon"

[Jathro]

The Deck Garage is back up and running! This time, we'll analyze an Elemental Hero deck. So without further ado...

Hi guys i was hoping you could look at my e-hero warrior deck, i'm hoping to take to a tourney on the twenty ninth. any feed back would be appricated greatly. i'm sorta hoping not use stuff like Jinzo in the main deck if possible and side him later, i have asspirations of winning, but getting somewhere would nice i guess.

anyways thanks for taking a look at this for me.

my forum name is shadowdragon


okay the main theme of the deck is to use mircale fusion to use out wildedge (and later necroid shaman too, when we get him and necroman awhile down the line.)and then use Ojama Trio too give three week defence monstesr and attack for game, basicly anyways, erm key cards would be the e-hero back up(also i dont have any e-hero support bar whats here unfortunatly) things like The A. Forces to give wildman and ther other warriors a boost too, i'm thinking maybe Magic Reflector to protect from spell and trap destruction?, also the Command Knights are good blocker's and booster's as are the captains.

First of all, well done, shadowdragon. You have a nice start here, but it's not perfect or I wouldn't be doing this. So let's see how we can make it better while keeping within the guidelines.

MONSTERS:
The Captain is a good choice here, but 3 is a bit overkill. Let's stick with 2. Rocket Warrior and Chthonian Soldier both have nice effects, but are more suited for a different deck. Let's go with a D.D. Warrior Lady and a Sangan instead. Survivor will be nice against the DD heavy meta.

-1 Marauding Captain (to Side Deck)
-1 Rocket Warrior
-1 Chthonian Soldier
+1 Sangan
+1 D.D. Warrior Lady (from Side Deck)
+1 D.D. Survivor

SPELLS:
With the speed of this deck, and how fast you'll burn through your hand, the equips will be a dead draw (and a terrible top deck). Let's just drop all but the Big Bang Shots, which will come in handy later. Same goes for Skyscraper. Another Smashing will help, as will another Miracle Fusion. The Warrior Returning Alive in triplicate is bit overkill here as well, so we'll drop 2 for more functional cards. The A. Forces, while a nice ATK boost, will be better swapped for some searching in the form of Last Will. The Command Knights will provide enough of a boost here.

-2 The Warrior Returning Alive (1 to Side Deck)
-2 Skyscraper
-1 Metalsilver Armor
-2 The A. Forces
-1 Fusion Sword Murasame Blade
+2 Last Will
+1 Miracle Fusion
+1 Smashing Ground
+1 Dark Hole
+1 Book of Moon
+1 Nobleman of Crossout
+1 Premature Burial

TRAPS:
The Hero Signals are nice tech, but not in this deck with only 3 valid targets; all being Wildheart. Exchange of the Spirit is nice, and very useful, but let's save it for the Side Deck. Negate Attack can be better replaced by something more useful as well.

-2 Hero Signal
-1 Exchange of the Spirit (to Side Deck)
-1 Negate Attack
-1 Magic Jammer
+1 Torrential Tribute
+1 Call of the Haunted

SIDE DECK:
First of all, we swapped EotS for DDWL. The focus should be centered on Wildedge, so let's drop the Cyber Blader stuff. Freed the Matchless General is nice, but the Bladedge tributes are enough so we won't be needing them either. The rest looks pretty decent though, and is more a matter of shadowdragon's personal preferences.

-1 D.D. Warrior Lady (to Main Deck)
-2 Etoile Cyber
-2 Blade Skater
-2 Freed the Matchless General
+1 Exchange of the Spirit (from Main Deck)
+1 Blade Knight
+1 Elemental Hero Bladedge
+1 D.D. Survivor
+1 Marauding Captain (from Main Deck)
+1 Big Bang Shot
+1 Ojama Trio

This moves our total down to 41 and gives us more power, tech, and a better chance of pulling off the Wildedge fusion. Our final deck looks like this:

Count: 42

Monsters: 17
Tribute:
Elemental Hero Bladedge
Elemental Hero Bladedge

Non-Tribute:
Command Knight

So there we have it. I have a personal fondness for the Elemental Heroes, so this was quite fun for me. I hope you enjoy the fixes, especially you, shadowdragon.

On a side note, with the release of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Duel Academy coming up, Elemental Hero Necroshade will be perfect for this deck in helping get Bladedge out without tribute.
